Dakar '18 - Stage 3 - Pisco > San Juan de Marcona

[E. Araiza]

A day for hardened “off-roaders”
At this point, Dakar veterans will still be warming up. The day’s challenge will mainly be disputed off-piste, both across a chott and in the heart of the canyons. Bikes and quads will leave the main route for a fifteen-kilometre detour, without increasing the day’s total distance. Newcomers to the rally, some of whom will already have experienced some difficulties, will be starting to feel a little worse for wear by this stage!

Liaison > 208 km - Special > 296 km

Current times:

We got this list in this morning from our Media guys #iGo2Dakar and could you tell us what does that "P" means in the Annexes field? The description tells "Particulier" but it doesn't say me anything.

 

[Desert Dog]

Not sure but Antanas starting in 19th position is pretty cool!

Hirvonen stopped with mechanical issues, Yazeed assisting.

 

[Short Bus]

What's this about? I didn't think they were allowed a pit stop. Or is he referring to a T4 truck?

 

[Short Bus]

Hirvonen stopped with mechanical issues, Yazeed assisting.

I wonder if they are cannibilizing Yazeed's car since he is hours down already anyway.

 

[mxenr]

no its just a refuel. and Tim and Tom have some time to check the car. at refuel everyone has to stop for like 20 minutes.

Nasser was really on fire today!!
Even with Baumel still suffering, he got a bunch of time. It is him or the Peugeots all together. Giniel did not have a good day today and is missing time stage by stage. He is there, but many Peugeots in front.
X raid keeps with difficulties, Great day for TV it seems (as yesterday)

 

[Hog Wild]

Crash without the bike falling over!
